Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-11 00:00:00 David Shea I thoroughly enjoyed reading the advice and experiences of women, teens through seventies, who have hiked the AT. The book is broken into sections that match the questionnaire the respondents filled out. I found the practical sections- on gear, footwear, hygiene, menstruation, and the effects of thru-hiking on the body- to be especially illuminating because each respondent had a different experiences and different advice. I was inspired by the reasons for hiking and the effects of their hike on their lives, attitudes, and outlook.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-09 00:00:00 Traci Casto This is an excellent reference for a woman seriously considering a thru hike. One thing I find benficial about this book is that it comes from input from hundreds of women. Other hiking books might give you things that worked or helped one or two people (the authors), but this one is a compilation of surveys that went out to several hundred women thru and section hikers. Only thing that could be improved would be more updated data. The surveys were given to hikers that completed their thru hike in the late eighties and early nineties. I'm dying to find a book with recent thru hikers and thoughts on more recent technologies.
